Travels

Yesterday we took a little road trip to my Mom's house with Winnie Cooper in tow. I foolishly didn't take any photos, but you can read about Winnie's adventures at Grammie's house from our last trip: here. Winnie had a very good time because her nemesis friend, Shiloh the beagle was outside in her dog house for the whole visit. Meaning: Winnie got Grammie all to herself! By the end of the visit Grammie was trying to trade Shiloh for Winnie.

Today I leave on a week long trip, the first half of the trip is a conference in San Francisco, the second half is a quick excursion to visit friends in Oregon. This trip is following closely on the heels of my one week vacation to North Carolina at the end of February...and I am feeling very guilty for leaving the dogs and kitties again so soon. I really have no earthly idea how people with human children can cope with traveling. Andy, my bf, is here to take care of everyone while I am gone, so I know that they will be kept in the manner they have become accustomed to, so it's really just that I will miss them terribly (and Andy too of course!).

Anyone have any tips on traveling and leaving pets behind? Do you feel guilty? Do you ever find a way to enjoy the pet free time?

Who wouldn't miss this?
